The applicant father brought a motion to change a final parenting order after the respondent mother unilaterally moved with the child from Mississauga to Toronto.
The mother failed to provide proper statutory notice of the relocation under the Children's Law Reform Act.
The court found that both parents were equally capable of meeting the child's needs, but the mother's unilateral action disrupted the status quo and the child's established life.
The court ordered that the child's primary residence be with the father in her familiar community, with the mother having weekend parenting time and paying child support.
